The Senate has designated the week of April 20-24, 2026, as "National Home Visiting Week" to recognize and promote programs where trained professionals visit families in their homes to provide support, education, and resources. This observance highlights the importance of home visiting services, which help parents and caregivers improve child development, health outcomes, and family well-being. The designation is largely symbolic and does not create new programs or funding, but rather calls attention to existing home visiting initiatives across the country.
